The input set includes all of the source documents that a particular job will process. Documents are added to the job's input set through the Input Files tab on the Job Builder dialog. The input set can include any combination of individual documents, folders, and saved searches. When you add a folder, by default only the documents at the root of the folder are processed by the job. When you add a saved search, the job will process all the documents found in the search. Input sets cannot contain documents from multiple datasources; if you need to process documents from multiple datasources, create a job definition for each datasource.

The inclusion of versions in your input set is handled differently depending on the item in your input set. For example, for folders in the input set, you can select an individual folder and specify whether or not all versions of documents at the root of that folder will be included in the input set. If you want to add specific versions to the input set, then you need to make sure your user setting Show all versions is on, and then add the specific document version to the input set. When you add a saved search in your input set, the inclusion of versions is determined by the search criteria in the saved search itself. For example, if in your search you specified to search for only the current versions of documents (by turning on Only Current in the Search by Form dialog), then the job will also only include in the input set the current versions of the documents returned in the search. When Only Current is off, then the input set will include all versions of the documents returned in the search.
